Can asyncio be combined with PyQt5?

[Charles]

An async function is a coroutine and you would need to run it via Qt
threads rather than the usual asyncio.

For example you can use these libraries

https://github.com/hanjinliu/qt-asyncio (simple)
https://github.com/altendky/qtrio (more complicated)

I don't think a constructor can be async though.

If you just want the function to run asynchronously, why not just create a
qt worker thread. Or if you want
to use an async library, find if there is a library that is implemented
over trio. A normal async library that runs
over asyncio will not work with Qt.
